“Better than expected!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

I found out at the very last minute that I had an interview in Hayes and needed to book a hotel room asap! This hotel was the cheapest in the area which is the only reason I chose it. From the hotel's website it looked dated - but I've stayed in a few hostels in my time so I had seen worse! I booked the basic single room - and that's exactly what it was. It had a bed, locker, mini-wardrobe, tv - and then the added bonus of a shower and sink! They may have been in the actual room, but at least that meant I wouldn't have to use the shared bathroom to shower in!

Everywhere was clean and my room was very warm when I arrived. The staff were very friendly and helped me whenever I asked for any assistance. I think breakfast is generally an added extra, but when I checked in I was offered free breakfast for the next morning!

I felt quite safe leaving my luggage at the reception desk after check out while I attended the interview, and everything was exactly as I had left it when I returned. I asked if there was somewhere I could change clothes before I left and the man at the desk was more than happy to let me use one of the unoccupied rooms for as long as I needed.

I left the hotel in a taxi for the train station and the driver asked me what I had thought of the place - it turns out a lot of people are pleasantly surprised by it and he had heard much worse reviews of the bigger, newer, more expensive hotels in the area.

I possibly would not stay here for an extended period of time but I only needed a room for one night - somewhere close to where I needed to be and cheap. If you're not fussy this place is fine! Serves its purpose!

Room Tip: Room 112 is right next to the shared bathroom. I wasn't disturbed by others using it and it was...

“Absolutely disgusting, but better than sitting all night at the airport!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011

Don't go there, unless you are desperate! The toilet is shared with about 20 rooms. There is a shower in the room, and I mean IN THE ROOM! There is no bathroom, so the shower is besides the bed! I'm not joking! The walls show humidity marks from the shower steam - of course! The bed sheets seemed clean. Just imagine placing your bed inside the bathroom. Maybe the room I've got used to be the bathroom! I doubt if the other rooms are different. I did not have the courage to eat there. They say that they have free wifi, but you can not access the signal from your room! By the way... Don't forget to take your own toilet tissue if you end-up there for any reason... The only shared toilet did not have toilet tissue!!!

Room Tip: Just book somewhere else if you can afford it!

“Dreadfully dated !”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2011

Rang ahead and booked a double room and agreed £60 paying by credit card. On arrival I noted £65 was being charged . My question about this was ignored and the reception man just shrugged his shoulders. He initially asked if my car had anything of value left in it. Basically saying this is a high crime area. As for the room it was like going back 30 years. Rattling my clearly previously forced door we were greeted with floral bed spreads ( circa 1970) emulsioned wood chip Walls, ridiculously small. The sink for the ensuite was in the room ! The wardrobe was a pathetic flimsy item and the window view was a water filled cigarette ash tray full of dog ends floating in water. The window barely closed and clearly insecure. The shower was approximately 20 years old and the shower tray simply filled as somewhere it was blocked. Noise throughout the night was prevalent, even hearing the contractor plumbers leaving discussing where they were going that day in detail at 0600 am. Door and Walls being so flimsy. The banging and clattering from theron in continued. On entering reception to check out we were not asked if we were staying for breakfast merely a grab for our key. I was so angry at the state of the room, the cleanliness and the cost I was advised by my partner to walk away and put it down to a very very bad experience. The worst hotel I have stayed at ....ever !

Room Tip: Book somewhere else

The rooms were awful and dated yet expensive and the staff rude. If they cleaned it better it would still look bad
